Who would you kill if you had to be in a car with for too long? alterantely, who would make you wanna kill yourself?

"Dude, I don't care. We have 3 hours after we leave this Stuckey's until we hit St. Louis. Just SHUT UP until we get there, okay?"

I'm going to vote for David Eugene Edwards(dude from 16 Horsepower/Woven Hand). Dude might have some interesting stories, but after a while, seems like he'd be such a downer.

this can also be read to be "who'd be horrible to share a van on tour with?

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I would make a horrible extended road-trip companion.

― hmmm (hmmm), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I am the most awesome Road Trip buddie. Really. I am awesome.

Jess Harvell.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

what, Screech the character, or Dustin Diamond the stand-up comedian?

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

from saved by the bell!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Jerry Seinfeld.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Schwarzenegger. (sic)

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

umm, Marissa? I mean, to thread or what?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Marissa who?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

my ex would have to be the worst travel companion i ever had. we once drove eighteen hours straight and said maybe eight words to each other. it was agony.

― the angry cowboy (dick), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd be all like, "Poor David Eugene Edwards, that crazy married lady must have messed you up good, let me make it all better here at this truck stop near South of the Border" and then somebody would get hurt

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

ANY OF MY FORMER BANDMATES!!! Trust me on this one. how many hours of Simpsons jokes can YOU stand?

(OK, they'd probably say the same thing about me, how many hours of Casablancass jokes (or insert the name of my latest obsession) before you abandon her in Nottingham.)

― The River Kate (kate), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

also, a sample conversation: "Dude, if you TOUCH the radio one more time, i'm gunna break your fucking jaw right here & now."

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

(Not talking Julian Casablancass, surely?)

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

He's so last year. It's all about Busted now.

We had to have strict rotas on the stereo to keep our soundman from playing nothing but crap post-rock. Man, was our drummer a stereonazi, though!

― The River Kate (kate), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm great to have along on road trips. i always have good snacks, good music, painkillers, extra cigarettes, and lots of weird emergency items like sewing kits and lock de-icer rolling around at the bottom of my bag. since i've been in pretty much every bad/bizarre long-haul driving situation there is, i don't complain.
vote lauren for your travel companion!
as far as who i'd want to murder if stuck with... let's see. i could see myself doing serious violence to the cast of seinfeld, carrot top, and christina aguilera.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Busted? tell me about it. or rather...

Alice (4 now) turns into a rabid teenager at the very mention...

(p.s. their version of "Hark the herald angels sing" is a very close cross between the Sid Vicious "My Way" and the greedies "A Merry Christmas" thingy...)

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, they sure have an amazing age range of appeal. 4 to 34. Astonishing! Who's her favourite? ;-)

― The River Kate (kate), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Come to think of it, I bet Busted would be great companions on a road trip. It would turn into the ultimate teen movie!

― The River Kate (kate), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Mmmm not sure. I don't think she's fussy to be honest.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

"On this very night...
10 years ago...
along the same stretch of road...
in a dense fog...
just like this...
I saw the worst accident I ever seen...
There was this sound...
Like a garbage truck!
Dropped off the empire state building!
And when they finally pulled the driver's body...
From the Twisted... Burning... Wreck...
It looked like...
THIS!!!!!!"

― LARGE MARGE (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

"Aha ahaa haaa that's really funny!!!" (Everyone else in the car (except you...))

Mike Myers.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

He might actually be the only one guaranteed not to do Austin Powers impressions...

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Ohh, I doubt it.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Robin Williams. Definitely Robin Williams.

― mike a, Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Johnny Thunders doesn't sound like he'd have been much fun, either...all that having to stop the car to score.

― mike a, Thursday, 11 March 2004 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

ROBIN WILLIAMS ROBIN WILLIAMS ROBIN WILLIAMS ROBIN WILLIAMS...jesus that's a terrifying thought, I mean a lift-ride with him would be excruciating...can it be just coincidnec that the two most annoying human beings alive (robin & robbie williams) have such similar names?

― winterland, Thursday, 11 March 2004 16:00 (twenty-two years ago)

as you can see, i tend to get kinda tense when cooped up in a car for too long.

my usual travelling sidekick had the remedy of smoking up at some rest stop before taking his turn at the wheel. it kept him happy, at least.

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Thursday, 11 March 2004 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Woody Allen.

I just won this thread.

― Andrew!, Thursday, 11 March 2004 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Woody falls into the camp of people who would swiftly end up not talking to you for the remainder of the trip, which is not in my opinion the real danger. He's not a hyperactive validation junkie like Myers or Williams.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 11 March 2004 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

what about bobcat goldthwaite? YIKES.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

actually, i'd quite enjoy having Bobcat along. He seems to have dropped the screechy schtick about 10 years ago, and would have plenty of good stories.

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Thursday, 11 March 2004 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Ann Coulter would be a good roadtrip companion, as she'd have a pickaxe through her skull and be quietly stiffening in the boot.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 11 March 2004 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

But the smell!

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 11 March 2004 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Seriously dudes! I'm the King of Road Trips!
I'm from the Prairies! Long drives! Knock Knock Jokes! Comb and wax paper kazoos! I know all the good truck stops!

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

The smell would be sweet as baby roses if you knew it meant that the she-cunt was finally dead.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

who is ann coulter?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd be a bad companion. I'd puke a lot and I have crap taste in music, also I don't know any funny stories. Apart from the one about Mark falling in the sea.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:11 (twenty-two years ago)

hee hee.

backseat drivers are the worst road-trip companions, for both short or extended trips.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

like a cross between Mary Whitehouse and Thatcher after an extreme makeover. Help me out, Yanks-does that sound right?

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

the one kid from the spelling bee documentary Spellbound. I think you know which one.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

fun with ann coulter

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

uh.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

mookieproof wins.

― In a cold sweat just thinking about it (afarrell), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I only check threads like this to assure myself that no one has mentioned me.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I would love martin as a road trip companion

― anthony, Thursday, 11 March 2004 17:55 (twenty-two years ago)

98% of people.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 11 March 2004 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

The other 2% = a little thing we like to call "road head".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 March 2004 18:08 (twenty-two years ago)

jillian barberie (the menfolk may disagree)

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 11 March 2004 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Yo! Why hasn't anyone come pick me up yet?
How many times I gotta say it? I AM DOWN FOR THE ROAD TRIP!

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Thursday, 11 March 2004 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Q: Why hasn't anyone come pick me up yet?
A: You are in Regina.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 March 2004 18:40 (twenty-two years ago)

damnfuckshit, I knew it was something.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Thursday, 11 March 2004 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you Anthony!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 11 March 2004 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Roadtrips are heaven to me. I'll come get you, Huck. Just tell me how to get there.

I would not like to road trip with the following people: Rosie O'Donnell, Dr. Phil, Loni Anderson, George Bush (either of them), or Carson Daly.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 11 March 2004 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

ha ha a Dr. Phil road trip ugh

"Now we know you're having a hard time putting up with my asshatishness, so we've arranged for you to visit a very special person, who is a dear friend of our program. Ladies and gentleman of the automobile, I'd like to introduce you to certified road trip counselor Dr. Stabbo Meinthegroinington!"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 March 2004 19:42 (twenty-two years ago)

GOOMH!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 11 March 2004 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Any insurance salesman

― C J (C J), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Dr Stabbo never gets the proper respect awarded to a man of medicine

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Friday, 12 March 2004 20:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Michael Jackson
